Orange, Tex., Sept. 1, 1918.
'• The Coinmuifity Labor Board of Or-
ange county,; acting upon the request
of the War Labor Board of Washing-
ton, D. C., and in conjunction with
the Labor Council of Defense have
classified the industries of Orange
county in the following manner:
Fmsdll Industrie* . .
Class 1-At Ship Yards, Saw Mills.
Farming, Railroad.
Classi 1-B: Foundry, Municipal
Plants, Barges and Tug-Boats, Steve-
dores, Long Shoremen and Dock La-
bor, Coal and Wood Dealers, Rice
Mill, Drug Stores, physicians.
Special provisions are made fur
banks.
Class 2-At Grain Companies, Oil Re-
finer, Wholesale firms, Cotton Gins,
Box Factory, Paper Mill, Builders Jt
Contractors, Sash ami Door Compan-
ies, Tinners and numbers.
Class 3-B: Retail Stores, Handling
Commodities, Hardware and Implc-1

maker. „ ^'
Class Si Retail Stores, Dry Goods
and Clothing Stores, Retail Furniture

18 and 48, barber shop attendants,
cleaning and pressing shops, dance
halls and attendants, ablebody, wood-
haulers, soft drink stands, confection-
aries, fruit vendors.
This classification is made necessary
from the fact of the great shortage
in man power which this country is
suffering during the present crises
and these industries classified as non-
essentials must hold themselves ready
at all times to turn over to the essen-
tial Industries every man they might
call for provided these men can not

This Withdrawal of men will be under
the direct supervision of the Commun-

to comply with the request of this
board.

SOME AUGUST
RECORDS MADE
BY UNCLE SAM
August, 1918, has been, the most .
successful asbnt0<4wr -4lie*AUie* sfaee- Sujtej
the opening of the war four years ago.
Day after day the Entente peoples
have been cheered by the hammer
atrokes of Marshal Foch, and by the
continued retirement of the enemy. Ail
the world has .coinc to know in the
weeks just passed that Germany’s ef-
forts have passed their renith and
that from a victorious offensive her
armies have been hurled back in dian
astrous defeat.
It is possible now to present in fig-
ures some of the achievements of this
wonderful' month. Since August 1 the
Allied armies have redeemed from the
enemy a stretch of territory from
near Ypres to Soissons aggregating
more than SOO square miles, and in-
cluding the important towns of Albert,
Montdidier, Lassigny, Roye,
Noyon, Bapaume, Croisilles
Chaulnes,
and Pe-
ronne. The British alone have taken
87,261 men, 868 large guns, 8,780 ma-
chine guns, 1,000 trench mortars. Since
July 15 th^ capture by all of the Al-
lied armies mount to 128,802 prison-
ers, 2,069 guns, 13,783 machine guns.
Surely a most substantial harvest for
General Foch and a most effective an-
swer to the German claims of a vie-'
torious elastic retreat. No wonder the
Kaiser has closed his frontiers to jour-

Washington, Sept. 11.—The torpe-
doing of a British liner carrying
| American soldiers was reported to the
nuvy department today. All thoSe on
board were saved the secretary of the
navy was informed through Wm. Phil-
lip Simms, of the United Press, who
stated that the British liner was struck
off the Englishconst as It was about
to transport troops to France. AU
the crew and soldiers aboard were
saved; a muster roU was called which
proved this statement. Most of the
soldiers oh board were from Cleve-
land and Chicago.
The liner carried about 2800 Ameri-
can aoldiers and out of this huge num-
ber none were hurt. The transfer from
ship to life boats was made in record
time. The attack was about three
o’clock this afternoon, 200 mile s off
the F.ngiish coast.

Sharp fighting northwest it Colmar, in
the northwestern part of 'Alsace, has
been reported. Here tJ|e Americans
repulsed the Ckiuian rgiils after an
intense struggle.
Fresh Hun troops stnfged forward
with over two hundred mine throwers
and over 1JW0 large-calibre shells wore
dropped on the American communica-
tion and back areas.
The.mine throwers were met by the
Americans with bayonet and rifle fire
and the deadly aeeoraey of this fir-
ing and the business-like way in which
the Americans used the bayonet soon
caused tbe Huns to hastily retreat.
' But the fighting was intense and
deadly while it lasted, as the Germans
had been ordered to take the position
or die.
For weeks now tbe Germans have
been unable to capture a single Amer-
ican prisoner in this sector.
Tho heavy mins of the last few
days have turned the lowlands into
quagmires, but on those sectors of the
high ground between Cambrai and
Soissons, the storms have not kept the
British and French armies from mov-
ing forward. Nor have they served to
lessen the strength of the (nemy’s
resistance.
Near Gouzeaueonrt and Havineourt
the British have advanced a little fur-
ther toward Cambrai. In the former re-
gion after having put dawn counter
attacks V the Germans who endeav-
ored to reelaim the high ground won
by the British in the last two days.

Germany Desperate;
May Increase “Sabs!”
(By United Press)
Washington, Sept. 11.—In her des-
peration st the growing menace of
American forces, Germany is believed
to be about to plunge into an adven-
turesome attempt “to get” American
transports.
Her, first stroke in this new war-
fare is regarded as the futile effort
to sink the Mount Vernon. Advices at
hand today show thirty-five dead, tho
it had been supposed that the entire
crew escaped. Senator James Hamil-
ton Lewis, Illinois, was aboard the
transport homeward bound, but was
unscathed.
The Mount Vernon adventure was
risky for a submarine. In vjfcw of the.
protection afforded transports, the U-|
boat commander was taking far more
of a chance than is customary in Teu-
ton operations.
